The end of the school year often sees a bit of a slowdown in bookings at our north state venues, but with a Canadian songstress now living in Nashville, a noted singer-songwriter from Portland, a brass band from New Orleans, and punk, blues, and jazz dates on the calendar, this week certainly doesn’t look to be boring.
